Abstract

When the elbow is destroyed due to rheumatic diseases, the joint can be replaced by a prosthesis and total arthroplasty. Improved pharmaceutical treatment for rheumatic diseases has, however, reduced the number of implantations in these patients. Reported 10-year survival rates of the implant currently achieve 81-90%.; however, due to limited long-term survival of the implant and high complication rates, total elbow arthroplasty should still be used with caution. Continuous technical improvements in the available prostheses and in surgical techniques could lead in the future to a decline in complications, such as aseptic loosening and infections.
